I've given up on the 8220

I received my fourth replacement 8220 last week and this one is also defective. I have to use WiFi in my home because we are in a dead area and UMA is the only way we can make or receive calls from inside the house.
The new phone started randomly dropping WiFI last Thursday. It will just drop the signal and will not pick it back up for several minutes. I spent over an hour on the phone with T-Mobile tech support and they finally decided the radio in the phone is bad. So it's going back and being replaced with a BB 8320 curve.
I liked several things about the 8220, but it's just not reliable. The only good part about this whole ordeal has been T-Mobile's response. They have been very responsive and quick to replace the defective phones with no hassle.
P.S. The phone is getting worse fast.  The screen shows it's connected by UMA and EDGE, but I cannot make a call out without pulling the battery then I've got maybe 15 minutes before I have to pull the battery again.

I feel the same about my former Blackberry Bold and 8800. Blackberry knows/knew how to build a good solid handset.

    I had Premier pro given me by the college I attend and do no use wi fi and do not use cloud. My laptop completely died and will be sent back to Apple for exchange. How can I reinstall Premier Pro on a new Apple computer since the old one is completly dead and could not be unregistered?

    Hi,
    You have not specified which version of Premiere Pro was given to you. If you don't have the disc (which i suppose you don't have) you will have to download it online.
    As far as your registration is concerned, for Premiere Pro CS6 or earlier you will have to reach Adobe chat support for further help: http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
    For Premiere Pro CC and later, you will not have much problems reactivating it.
    Thanks,

    Don't go on what you've seen in the store - for every example you spot, there are hundreds that didn't make it in.

  • One or more of the specified resources could not be re-assigned. This can happen if the proposed resource to be assigned has already an assignment on the given task or the specified assignment is deleted or rejected.

    I create a brand new plan based on a template.
    A task in that plan has a team resource assigned. the task is fixed work. The PM may change the work and duration but not the team resource.
    The plan is published.
    I delegate my self as a team resource: and try add myself to team task in the timesheet area (using insert row). I can choose some tasks and the add. Most tasks throw this error. This happens if nothing on the plan is changed - it is brand new - minutes

    oooch - I can fix it - I need delete the task and recreate it. Which is amazingly tedious as I cannot see if a task needs recreating or not. There's 10 template plans and an average of 200 tasks - then I have to rename the template - the assign the
    new template to the EPT - this will be a long night; with only complaints at the end.

    I bought a budget sheet app from the apple store, there is no option of sub category given and therefore the app doesn't function can I get its money back ?

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.

  • Does an iphone4s become locked to the SIM card that you insert after you follow the steps given to unlock the phone? Thanks a mill

    Does an iphone4s become locked to the SIM card that you insert after you follow the steps given to unlock the phone?
    I just received the steps by email from meteor and I'm moving to OZ in September. I have the OZ SIM card I intend using over there but I don't want to end up locking the whole phone to the OZ network before I go there.
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated

    That only happens when you purchase a supposedly unlocked phone from specific stores that say their unlocked but as soon as you insert a sim card they lock to that carrier... a trick (sort of)... that's something totally different than what you are about to do!

  • Will be given access to the boot loader?

    Will be given access to the boot loader?
    when this happens?

    Hi Selamer,
    although access to the boot loader May happen with android devices, the same cannot be said for symbian devices. Software development for symbian appears to have slowed down to an end, as the focus shifts to windows phone. So no, it's not going to happen.

  • Mail.app : locally store mails for a given period, leave the rest in gmail

    Hi all,
    My hard drive is filling up at the speed of light.
    In order to free some space, I have moved all music and videos on a NAS.
    I wish I could save some more space by leaving my older mails in the cloud, and just store locally in the mail app a given number of mails, or a given period, or a given space allocation.
    Is there a way to implement any of those solutions?
    Regards,
    Yann

    You are presumably using IMAP for gmail.  Have you seen the Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Gmail > Advanced setting choices for Keep copies of messages for offline viewing?
    All messages and their attachments
    All messages, but omit attachments
    Only messages I've read
    Don't keep copies of any messages
    The first choice is the default.  As long as you always have a good network connection, you could select the last choice.  This wouldn't not be as nice as a time-based setting.
    Keep in mind how cheap hard disks are.  I spent $60 for a 500GB 7200rpm drive for my old MacBook.

  • 10 problems and questions about the 8220

    Hiya,
    I have come to a point where I am a bit more frustrated about my new phone than actually enjoying it, my previous phone was an XDA Orbit running on WM5, as such I guess I came to expect a lot more from the phone than is good for me...
    I just got an upgrade from O2, and since the Bold was not in stock I was sent this one.
    Anyway, here goes:
    1. SMS Message-folders: Is there any way I can create folders for my messages? Say for example: "SAVED-Bob", "SAVED-Steve", etc? At the moment I only have one main SMS folder displaying everything and I really do not want to save messages in the same "Saved messages" folder under 'Applications'
    2. Deleting multiple messages: According to the help, pressing the alt-button while rolling over the messages will select the messages I want, then pressing the menu button I would need to select "delete selected messages". Well, that doesn't seem to work. If I press the alt-button all I will achieve is the trackball going to the top or the bottom of the messages. Could anyone point me into the right direction?
    3. Sent emails: Why is there no "sent" messages folder? I would have expected that with a blackberry (that is said to be an office-email-phone) I have some sort of Outbox and Sentbox?
    4. Memory card: How can I use it? The only reasonable explanation I got from the phone that I had a memory card was when I took a picture and it told me that these would be stored on the MicroSD card. But how can I as a user access it? How can I create folders on there? How can I save items such as notes on there? And if I put up a folder on the memory card with a number of word documents, PDFs and text notes, how can I access these?
    5. Security: How can I lock folders such as messages or email (say for the sake of the argument that I would be using the same password for both of them) so that whenever I want to access my SMS messages I need to enter a code?
    6. Image-editing: How can I edit an image after I took it to get it to a smaller size? I was using TwitterBerry to upload an image I just took to my twitter account, but it just sat there uploading the image (which was a 1600x1200 image) for about 10 minutes (with WiFi connected) and did not do anything.
    7. Message preview: I don't want to see the whole message on my phone! Is there no way I can just display the "New Message" icon with the sender, but not previewing the message on the outer screen when the phone is closed?
    8. Trackball problems: the trackball does not seem to be sitting 100% in the middle of the recess, instead it is squinted a little to the right. It isn't a massive problem, but if I can see white light coming through on the left and not on the right I do not really think this is a "feature". It works and everything, but it just doesn't look properly / right
    9. Hinge a bit wobbly? The hinge has a bit of movement when closed (not when opened), is a movement of 2mm normal?
    10. Full phone backup: Can I make a full backup of my 8220 using any piece of software (the software that came with it hasn't been touched yet) to fully backup my phone and contacts for easy import into another Blackberry should I need to return this one for #8 ad #9?
    Thank you all very much for your time and help on this, I would really like to enjoy the phone, but at the moment I just can't and I have already spent so much time importing my contacts properly that I really don't want to consider changing phones...
    Alex
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    The good news! You should have doc's to go on your phone with device OS 4.6:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displ​ayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB15466&sliceId=SAL_Pub​...
    The other news: as a BIS user you will not have the sent and received personal folder setup that you
    do on Outlook. A BES phone maintains a connection to the MSexchange server that allows you to have full
    function with the BB. On BIS however, You can save email messages to the saved folder, you can hide or display the sent messages in the main message queue, you can save sent emails. However the are saved in only one folder.
